Mint Blueberry Pie Squares Recipes

MINT-BLUEBERRY PIE SQUARES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400ºF.
• Toss blueberries with granulated sugar, tapioca, lemon juice and chopped mint until evenly coated. Let stand 15 min.
• Meanwhile, beat Neufchatel, butter and extract in large bowl with mixer until blended. Gradually add flour, mixing after each addition just until blended. Shape into 2 balls. Place 1 ball on large lightly floured sheet of waxed paper; flatten slightly. Cover with second floured sheet of waxed paper. Roll out dough to 9-1/2-inch square. Discard top sheet of waxed paper.
• Spray 9-inch square pan with cooking spray; invert over rolled-out dough. Flip dough and pan together. (Pan will be on bottom.) Remove second waxed paper sheet; gently press dough onto bottom and 1 inch up side of pan. Spread blueberry mixture onto bottom of crust.
• Repeat rolling out of remaining dough ball to make second square. Remove top sheet of waxed paper; carefully flip dough over blueberries. Discard waxed paper. Tuck edges of dough down sides of pan to enclose blueberries. Cut several slits in top crust to permit steam to escape.
• Bake 30 to 35 min. or until golden brown. Cool 15 min.
• Mix powdered sugar and water until blended; drizzle over dessert. Cool 30 min. before cutting into squares.
